Vasundhara factor behind Gehlot's confidence ..? Maharani's silence on Rajasthan crisis

New delhi date. 13 July 2020, Monday

The political turmoil in the Rajasthan Congress government is not going away. There is no possibility of a compromise between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and the battle is over. In this regard, the gigantic BJP leader Vasundhara Raje has maintained silence in the game of Congress check-mat. Rebel Sachin Pilot has claimed the support of 30 MLAs. However, Ashok Gehlot does not seem to be too worried about defending his government. In these circumstances, the question is whether the factor of Vasundhara Raje's silence behind Ashok Gehlot's confidence is not working somewhere.

Amid speculations of joining the BJP, Sachin Pilot on Sunday claimed that he had 30 MLAs and that the Gehlot government was in the minority. However, the Congress made it clear that the Gehlot government was fully secure and would complete its term. Not only that, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has also given up the Brahmastra to issue a whip to stop the pilot uprising in Rajasthan. Rajasthan Congress in-charge Avinash Pandey has claimed that he has a letter of support from 109 MLAs.

Amid the changed political climate in Rajasthan, Union Minister Gajendra Shekhawat and Rajya Sabha member Om Mathur from the BJP can be seen standing with Congress leader Sachin Pilot. In this regard, the huge BJP leader in Rajasthan and former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has been in silent mode for the last two days. Amid speculation that Sachin Pilot will join the BJP, questions are being raised about Vasundhara Raje's silence.

Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje had only two tweets on Saturday and Sunday that were not related to politics. I waited all day for Vasundhara Raje's reply on SOG's FIR and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's scathing attack on the BJP, but two days later no response was forthcoming. On Monday, he made a statement in favor of Sachin Pilot from Dhaulpur and said that Ashok Gehlot was treating the pilot badly, he was treated unfairly.

However, like other BJP leaders, Vasundhara Raje does not seem to be interfering. According to political pundits, there is a political math hidden behind it. According to Shyam Sundar Sharma, a senior journalist from Rajasthan, there is good political chemistry between Ashok Gehlot and Vasundhara Raje. After becoming the Congress government, Gehlot never made any statement against Vasundhara Raje or made any critical remarks. Not only that, even Vasundhara Raje has not been able to take to the streets during the last one and a half years in protest of the Gehlot government.

Shyam Sundar Sharma said that DB Gupta, who became the chief secretary during Vasundhara Raje's tenure after Gehlot came to power, was not removed from office. When Sachin Pilot complained to the top leadership of the Congress about the matter, Gehlot removed him from the post of Chief Secretary and appointed him as a political adviser. Gupta is considered Vasundhara's personal person and because of this his political equation is understandable. According to Sharma, Gehlot is a well-rounded politician and he likes this kind of political math very much.

Rajasthan Health Minister Dr. According to Raghu Sharma, the Congress is vigilant and capable of countering all the vicious cycles of the BJP. Gehlot's supporter MLA Rajendra Guddu claimed that the BJP MLAs were in touch with the Congress and that more MLAs would be brought from the BJP than the number of MLAs would go. In a way, the BJP currently wants to measure the political significance of Sachin Pilot and will take a decision only after that. Before taking a decision, BJP wants to know the outcome of the showdown between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot and that is why Vasundhara Raje is also in silent mode. At the same time, this is why Ashok Gehlot seems to be confident.
